modconf won't install or remove modules
When I ran lspci -v it said I had an Esoniq 5880 AudioPCI ( it was a Creative
Sound Blaster PCI under Winblows) sound card that I stupidly forgot to install during Setup. When I ran modconf i tried installing the module es1370, but it said: es1370: version v0.35 time 11:53:03 Apr 20 2002 /lib/modules/2.2.20/misc/es1370.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by... /lib/modules/2.2.20/misc/es1370.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.20/misc/es1370.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.20/misc/es1370.o: insmod es1370 failed Installation failed. So then I tried using the sb Sound Blaster compatible module, but the exact same message (replacing es1370 with sb of course) appears. Even when I tried uninstalling modules I never heard of (eg sunrpc) it said the device was busy (it would also help me if u could tell me what sunrpc is/does???) Im at my wits end here, Ive tried everything, even compiling a kernel v2.6.7, but that doesn't work, because when I made the modules it kept saying all these things were undefined. When I tried booting with it, it said it was missing the root= parameter, even though I specified root=/dev/hda3 in lilo.conf, so I have to stick with 2.2.20. And I can't reinstall either, because I use network install but have already used 440MB/1GB of downloads for the month as of 7/08. (I installed Debian Woody stable version with KDE on the 4th so I am a newbie at actually using Linux, but I have spent weeks reading about it beforehand) I dont know what else to do. Can anyone HELP me??? :( Thank you to anyone who answers... |

Well, thanks HappyTux but I was mainly looking for help about installing my sound card
driver, not about compiling a new kernel (although I'll try it anyways). Tks again, though. I dont get the part about making the /sys dir. What do I do after that? U didnt really make it that clear to me. :scratch: |
